Sinfonia 3: Sabat Mater
Advertisement
Our Sinfonia series ends with Sabat Mater, on April 10, 2027 at 7:30pm at the D. F. Cook Recital Hall. We have the incredible Léa Moisan-Perrier conducting, the NSO Chamber Choir, soloists Nathan Cook, Heather Kao, and Kate Read, and dancer Yukichi Hattori. This concert has everything and you won't want to miss it!
The evening opens with Pēteris Vasks’s Grāmata Čellam, featuring solo cellist Nathan Cook, followed by Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cantata No. 4, where choir and strings bring a sense of solemn ritual and expressive depth. For the Cantata we also welcome Yukichi Hattori, dance who will present beautiful world premiere choreography.
Lera Auerbach’s Sogno di Stabat Mater adds a contemporary meditation on the Stabat Mater tradition through solo violin and viola featuring our own Heather Kao, violin and Kate Read, viola,
creating an intimate, searching sound world. Franz Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 44 “Trauer” follows, its restrained drama and darker tone offering one of Haydn’s most inward symphonic statements.
The program closes with another work by Vasks, Musica serena, a piece that turns toward calm, sustained sonorities and a sense of stillness. Yukichi returns once more to interpret this piece through
dance. Together, these works shape an evening focused less on spectacle and more on contemplation, texture, and emotional resonance.
Tickets are available at the ACC Box Office (709-729-3900), online at www.artsandculturecentre.com and at the door.
Sabat Mater is a part of our Gold Subscription, Sinfonia Series Subscription, and is a choice in our Silver Subscription.
Presented by Quidi Vidi Brewery.
